Malmö will be looking to keep alive their hopes of securing back to back Swedish top flight titles when they welcome GAIS to Eleda on Thursday evening.
Following a slow start to the 2023 campaign, the hosts ended up winning the championship only on goal difference, but they have started this season on a high. Malmö sit on top of the tree with seven wins from their eight games played so far and have also kept six clean sheets. The Sky Blues still hold a 100% at home and will certainly be aiming to extend that run this week.
GAIS are one of the new boys in the Swedish top flight. The Mackerels got promoted after finishing second in the Superettan last year and have started the season in style. Fredrik Jakob Holmberg’s men sit in fourth after managing five wins from their eight games play so far. However, their record against Malmö is very poor as they suffered a defeat in each of their last four league meetings with the Sky Blues.
Betting Tips Malmö FF vs GAIS: Over 2.5 goals
Malmö have started the season on fire when it comes to scoring goals. The Sky Blues have scored more goals than any other team in the division so far this season, and hit Goteborg for three last time out. Each of their last three league fixtures produced at least three goals.
GAIS have had plenty to celebrate on their return to the top flight, but their defence still has plenty of holes. The visitors have kept a clean sheet in just one of their eight games played so far, and also shipped five goals the last time they faced Malmö.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Malmö FF vs GAIS prediction: 3-1

Malmo FF team news
Malmö head coach Henrik Rydström will continue to rely on the services of Erik Botheim who has had a great start to the campaign upfront.
Erik has contributed averagely a goal/assist in each of the eight games played so far and should lead the line, Johan Dahlin while be hoping to make his seventh appearance in goal.
Daníel Gudjohnsen and Oscar Lewicki won’t be available for this week’s game due to back and cruciate ligament injuries respectively.

GAIS team news
After the win and clean sheet against Vasteras last time out, head coach Fredrik Jakob Holmberg is expected to resist the temptation to make changes to his GAIS XI.
Alexander Ahl Holmström’s goal in that game was his fourth for the campaign and the 25-year-old will partner with Gustav Hans Lundgren and Mervan Çelik upfront.
